Global Institute of Journalism for the Future

“When times change, new journalists are born.”

We believe that modern journalism is both investigative and constructive. It´s co-created and networked. It´s systemic and provides context.

We seek to connect journalists to co-create stories with leverage for future-oriented, societal change.

We strive for a networked collaboration building a global community of storytellers, e.g. journalists and media makers.

Open Eyes is located in Amsterdam
